Athough most might think that the increasing rise of lowered product prices would be a cause
of celebration, information as to why products from certain companies are so cheap might make you re-think that attitude.
Companies like Wal-Mart constantly advertise the advantage of how they are able to always
deliver low prices to their customers. However Wal-Mart fails to inform the public that with these low prices comes a cost.
It has to do with denying basic rights to their employee's such as adequate wages and healthcare plans. In fact, Wal-Mart
encourages its employers to take advantage of the governments social programs and food stamps in order to make a living.
Secondly the price the company pays to its suppliers is so low that one can only expect that these
suppliers turn to exploiting children through inadequate wages and inhumane working conditions. Yet Wal-Mart has taken
no steps to comply with ethical and legal treatment of workers in China, Bangladesh and Honduras.
The list of costs go on including severe environmental impact as well as the very local economy that
Wal-Mart claims to be helping out by providing jobs.
